    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Forensic Science
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of drugs like methadone, morphine, and naloxone in biological matrices is crucial for clinical and forensic toxicology.
    • Traditional extraction methods, such as liquid-liquid extraction, can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a rapid and efficient extraction method for methadone, morphine, and naloxone from biological samples.
    • To compare the developed method's efficiency and time-saving capacity against standard liquid-liquid extraction techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a surgical gauze support for loading aqueous biological samples (brain homogenates, plasma, urine).
    • Employed lipophilic extracting solvents to selectively partition nonpolar drugs while retaining aqueous samples on the support.
    • Analyzed the recovery of nanogram levels of methadone, morphine, and naloxone.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 80-100% recovery for methadone, morphine, and naloxone at nanogram levels.
    • Demonstrated an approximate 10-fold timesaving compared to conventional liquid-liquid extraction.
    • The method effectively separated drugs from complex biological matrices.

    Conclusions:

    • The described gauze-supported extraction method provides a highly efficient and rapid approach for analyzing methadone, morphine, and naloxone.
    • This technique offers a significant advancement for toxicological screening and therapeutic drug monitoring, reducing laboratory workload.
